India is sadly not a great place to travel alone, particularly as a woman. Women have limited rights there and, especially in the rougher areas, the crimes against them are rarely even looked into
Being an Indian I think I must comment here. I won't defend India, there are a lot of rape cases. The statistics you see are onyl reported cases. Over 90% of the cases go unreported.
This is because a lot of families don't report their missing females/females who tell their families thay have been raped. This is mainly due to the fact that the families think that it would tarnish their name and they won't be able to get the victim married. This is specially true in rural areas, which by the way, in the true meaning of the word, are BACKWARD.
The police is extremely corrupt and won't do anything about thr cases. The families try to hide the cases. Consequently the rapists go free. No one even knows what they did.
It's just plain sad because this country genuinely has a lot to offer. I'm 18 year old male and I'm sick of the general way of conduct of boys around me. The mentality is what needs to change. And mind you, I'm in Delhi, not in a small town. The damn capital.
Go read the article above. This was in Delhi. I didn't personally know any of the boys involved in the group, but the fact that all these boys are my age, it makes me think what has to go inside the mind of a person to commit such heinous crime. The lack of awareness which needs to be created from a young age is entirely missing and we're forced to study for stupid entrances running for a B.Tech degree.
